Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the factors impacting women in management in Mumbai. Based on the primary data, an analysis of women representation in management is performed. It is important to understand how four dimensions, Personal, work, organisational and social, determine the women representation in management in Indian industries. The data collected from 560 respondents are thoroughly analysed using a range of statistical techniques like Chi-square test, Exploratory Factors Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Findings support that there are several biases in the Indian industries related to women representation in management. It also shows us that several stereotypical beliefs such as men are ambitious, men are emotionally strong, etc., exist in the Indian industries and are affecting women’s career growth. It is shown that where personal, work and organisational-related factors are significantly determining women representation in management, social factors are insignificant.
